Statusbars and PTR

[Iza]

Hello everybody,
yesterday I copied my addon (VuhDo) to PTR to see if it's working alright there. Guess what: It didn't. Blizz must have changed something about status bars. The status bar textures don't match the size of the status bars anymore. The textures seem to be displayed in their original aspect ratios. In fact they seem to shrink in their height but not the width. Only the color will be applied on the correct width. Here's a screenshot of what I mean:

Thanks in advance,

I created this for the Spell Timer of ForteXorcist when I noticed that:

local function NewStatusBar(parent)
	local bar = CreateFrame("Frame",nil,parent);
	bar.parent = parent;
	bar.texture = bar:CreateTexture(nil,"ARTWORK");
	bar.texture:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", bar, "TOPLEFT", 0, 0);
	
	bar.origSetWidth = bar.SetWidth;
	bar.SetWidth = function(self,val)
		self:origSetWidth(val);
		self:SetValue(self.value);
	end
	bar.SetStatusBarColor = function(self,r,g,b,a)
		self.texture:SetVertexColor(r,g,b,a);
	end
	bar.GetStatusBarColor = function(self)
		return self.texture:GetVertexColor();
	end
	bar.SetValue = function(self,value)
		--[[if value < 0 then
			value = 0;
		elseif value > 1 then
			value = 1;
		end]]
		self.value = value;
		self.texture:SetTexCoord(0, value, 0, 1);
		self.texture:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", self, "BOTTOMRIGHT", (value-1)*self:GetWidth(), 0);
	end
	bar.SetStatusBarTexture = function(self,texture)
		self.texture:SetTexture(texture);
	end
	bar:SetValue(1);
	return bar;
end

It doesn't have all the functions that the real statusbar has and it always takes a value from 0.0 to 1.0. It's not that hard to make it behave in exactly the same way as the original, I just don't need the other stuff atm I assume blizzard will fix the real one themselves though.

edit: miss-spelled my own addon haha :P

Thanks a lot. Let's hope they do fix it. At least the way they are now makes them completely useless imo...
